About the Show
Zapped to the Past is more than just a nostalgia trip — it's a genuine exploration of how gaming and technology shaped culture, and why those pixels still matter.
From the earliest home consoles to the golden era of arcades and 16-bit glory days — the show explores the games, the hardware, and the culture surrounding them.
Beyond the games themselves, Zapped to the Past looks at the technology that made it all possible — and the people who built it.
No fluff, no filler — just genuine enthusiasm for the subject matter, delivered in an accessible and entertaining format.
